Rajasthan Pre-Entrance Test (RPET)

About the RPET

Rajasthan Technical University was established in 2005 to impart technology education to students aspiring to be an engineer from the state of Rajasthan. It conducts Rajasthan Pre-Entrance Test to intake admission into various B. Tech. programs into its various colleges all over Rajasthan.
